Great photographs indeed and really cheered me up to see them all. I stole a few for my facebook friends if that is ok :)

Echo Hennings words, they will be great to look back on , on the cold dark winter evenings.

Thanks a million Jarkko and Eija

Winter is upon us
No walking tour in sight
I look outside my window
At the cold and rainy night
What do I do please tell me
Shall I reminise the past
Or do I dream of meet ups new
For my happiness to last

I am glad my poetry is as you like it . Although I do think your praise is much to do about nothing .I always write them on the twelth night of each month most are a comedy of errors but some turn out to be loves labours lost . Measure for measure I prefer to write a winters tale but whatever the time of yearI am just glad that alls well that ends well

There is a lot of controversy about Shakespeare and if he even wrote most of the plays.... I am beginning to wonder if The Yorkshire Dales are the true Stratford -on Avon

Tinderella, well said about Shakespeare.

Please don't all shoot me at once, but I have never been able to understand, all the fuss about Shakespeare. :(

Henning, you mean to say ' you have never heard of Shakespear's sister. ' you are really missing out on some very serious sonnet's.

Yorkshire Lad, you will have to enlighten the poor man. :lol:

Please tell me you do not mean "poor" in financial terms as everybody knows the poor man to whom you are referring owns two hotels a castle vast swaithes of German countryside , woodland with its own country retreat a public house in Dillenberg and last but not least his own successful football team ! I know all this because I have been there and got the T shirt ( Well actually Tinderella got that )!!
